Iredell County Property Reappraisal

North Carolina law under G.S. 105-286 requires every county to reappraise all real property at least once every eight years. Iredell County follows this requirement and may reappraise more often if the Board of Commissioners authorizes it. Reappraisals bring all assessed values in line with current market conditions.

During a reappraisal year, every parcel in Iredell County is reviewed. Appraisers look at recent sales data, replacement costs, and income information for commercial properties. Owners receive a notice with the new value. If you disagree, you have the right to appeal. Between reappraisals, values may change for new construction, demolitions, or lot splits. The Iredell County Tax Administration updates property tax records accordingly when these changes occur.

Note: A reappraisal changes assessed values but does not automatically raise your taxes. The Board of Commissioners may adjust the tax rate to keep revenue stable after a reappraisal in Iredell County.

Property Tax Appeals Process

Iredell County property owners who disagree with their assessment can appeal. The first step is an informal review with Tax Administration staff. Present your evidence and discuss the value. Comparable sales from the area are the most effective type of evidence.

If the informal review does not change the outcome, file a formal appeal with the Board of Equalization and Review under G.S. 105-322. The board hears property tax appeals during its annual session. After the board rules, further appeal goes to the Property Tax Commission under G.S. 105-288. This state body reviews contested assessments from all North Carolina counties, including Iredell County.

• Start with an informal review at the Tax Administration office
• Bring comparable sales or a recent appraisal as evidence
